Description
Offered publicly for sale, for the first time, this two owner from new 1950 Land Rover series one, must be one of the most original examples of its type available.
Completely un-messed with, since being found by its second owner, it has been carefully conserved, importantly retaining all its original features, these include the chassis, bulkhead and all panels, the paint remains the original with only one outer wing replaced in the mid 1960s, the seats retain there original coverings and are preserved under clear seat covers, the wear and patina is really quite astounding as is the care with which the preservation has been undertaken, whilst much work has been undertaken by the present Land Rover enthusiast owner, heavier mechanical works were entrusted to the world renowned Dunsfold Collection.
MJH 821 is now in beautiful mechanical and driving condition, whilst retaining and enjoying her years of wear and patina, I truly believe, that to find another, such beautifully preserved example, would be very hard to achieve, the details on this car are phenomenal and untouched and to really appreciate how special MJH is, viewings are highly recommended.
Originally purchased new and first registered on the 12th of December 1950 by a Farmer at that time located in Horley, he then moved to a Farm near Liskeard where MJH was used until a mechanical issue, meant it was pushed to the back of the ubiquitous Farmers barn, it wasn’t until 2010 that it passed to the second owner, loved and cherished by him it is now offered on the open market for the first time since 1950 !
